Listen: Yuck release aptly titled new track ‘Another One’

London-based indie-fuzz revivalists Yuck returned with their second album Glow & Behold last year, following the departure of their frontman. Instead of resting on their laurels, they were straight back in the studio at the end of 2013 and have a new EP ready called ‘Southern Skies’.

Today they’ve revealed the second track from the EP, with the straight-to-the-point title ‘Another One’. As usual it’s a dreamy and fuzzy peach of a record that just swallows you up.

Listen to it below:

Listen: Jagwar Ma release ridiculously good MssingNo remix of ‘Uncertainty’

If I gave out some kind of award for remix of the week, then this would probably win it for the next month at least.

I don’t normally feature remixes per se, as there’s so many of them flying about it would be a full-time job in itself trying to collate them all. I usually share/repost them on Soundcloud, so make sure you follow me there 🙂

The remix that bucks the trend and deserves a bit more coverage is the below piece of brilliance from elusive grime producer MssingNo – who has given Jagwar Ma’s ‘Uncertainty’ a spectral, emotive and majestic reworking.

With his solo album Everyday Robots due out in April, Damon Albarn has been steadily dripping new material out into the public domain.

Listen: Klaxons – ‘Children Of The Sun’

Klaxons raised a few eyebrows last week with the big reveal of their pop-tastic ‘comeback’ single ‘There Is No Other Time‘.

As revealed last week, Klaxons have been working with a range of different producers for their upcoming third album. ‘There Is No Other Time’ was produced by Radio 1 favourites Gorgon City, and other collaborators include James Murphy, Erol Alkan and The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands, who worked on ‘Children Of The Sun’.

Listen: Klaxons go pop-tastic with new single ‘There Is No Other Time’

It would be a bit of an exaggeration to suggest Klaxons have been sorely missed since their second album Surfing The Void came out a full four years ago. Their re-imagining of 90’s rave-pop culture was starting to wear a bit thin by 2010, but it’s still good news to have them back on the scene.

They have announced today that they will have a new album out in ‘late spring’, and have released brand new single ‘There Is No Other Time’ to ‘pave the way for the albums release’. Read more about Listen: Klaxons go pop-tastic with new single ‘There Is No Other Time’ …

Listen: Metronomy – ‘Love Letters’

Not too sure what to make of this, as it is a far cry from Metronomy’s usual electro-trickery. ‘Love Letters’ is the title track from Joe Mount’s upcoming new Metronomy album, and its a pretty crazy 70’s-pop track complete with mariachi horns. It’s the second track taken from Love Letters following the lead single ‘I’m […]
